In 1975, a long-held vision to help the less fortunate of society caused
one man to establish a federally registered charitable foundation called
the North American Muslim Foundation (NAMF). In its initial days, its
founder Mohammad Kabir Farooqui would collect $12 a year from each donor
in Canada and send the amount overseas to cover the educational expense
of children and youth. It is through his tireless efforts and a strong
commitment that he single-handedly managed to make a difference to over
40,000 children over a span of 27 years.
By
the year 2002, the introduction of new staff and Board members into the
foundation led to an increased growth and efficiency of its presence and
role. Today, the North American Muslim Foundation operates in several
countries around the globe and works side by side with various partner
organizations, locally and globally, that share its aim to foster human
dignity through sustainable development and growth.
